Problems trying tutorial "Building a GoogleSearch Web Service Portlet"

Question

Hi all
I'm trying the tutorial at the link
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/googleportlet.html
with Sun Java Studio Cerator2 Update1, on a PC with Linux Suse 9.3.
When I try to run the portlet in the pluto portal simulator, I always receive the message:
"HTTP Status-Code 407: Proxy Authentication Required; nested exception is: HTTP Status-Code 407: Proxy Authentication Required"
in the Message Group component of the application.
I'm behind a firewall.
I have setting the proxy configuration parameters both in the IDE and in the browser (Mozzilla), as explained in the tutorial itself, but it dosen't work.
The proxy host server and the proxy port are settings correctly.
Infact, from the IDE, I can go to the SUN Java Studio Creator Update Center, and find the items.
What I'm wrong ?
Thanks

Hi Marco.
yes normally I need a username and a password ( and I have it ) for the authentication on the proxy.
I have two situation:
1) The browser (Mozzilla)is already launch when I run the simple application.
When I start the browser ( Mozzilla ) it ask to me for user/password information, because my home page is setting on www.sun.com, and I'm behind a firewall.
So, when I launch the simple application from the Cerator, the pluto portal simulator start in a new browser page, and don't ask me usr/pwd again, but it use the previous provided.
Here I have the simple application in run, and I input the word on which I want to call the doSpellingSuggestion() method.
I press the "Spell" button and i receive the message :
"HTTP Status-Code 407: Proxy Authentication Required; nested exception is: HTTP Status-Code 407: Proxy Authentication Required"
2) The browser (Mozzilla)is NOT already launch when I run the application.
The Creator launch the browser opening the simple application in a new browser page WITHOUT asking the username and password (why? Is the error here? ).
I input the word on which I want to call the doSpellingSuggestion() method.
I press the "Spell" button and i receive (obviously) the message :
"HTTP Status-Code 407: Proxy Authentication Required; nested exception is: HTTP Status-Code 407: Proxy Authentication Requir
I have said that function with the IDE, meaning that the username and the password that I have are ok for the proxy, because once I have provided it on the button "Proxy configuration" in "Tools->Updsate Center" in the IDE, and then I choose the "next" button, I 'm be able to connect to the "Sun Java Studio Creator Center"
